[QUOTE="newolddude, post: 5492309, member: 84020"] I also remember when I came out of high school and had a friend who's dad and grandfather were both steamfitters. They sent him off to college even though he was an average student. Partly because that's what the peer pressure was and because the only apprentices they were taking on were sons of connected union heads and other buttkissers. Rank and file guys couldn't get the sons on. He spent 3 wasted years in college and ended up being a union glazier (glass fitter). Now the steamfitters run print, online and radio ads looking for apprentices. [/QUOTE]
